In late September 2026, police in Kaohsiung’s Qianzhen District arrested a 53-year-old man for the theft of a motorcycle. The incident occurred in the early hours of September 26 near Ersheng 2nd Road, where the vehicle had been left running with the keys in the ignition.

After reviewing surveillance footage, officers tracked the suspect toward the Lingya District and intercepted him within 35 minutes of the report. Although the suspect initially claimed the motorcycle belonged to a friend, he later admitted he took it because he ‘wanted to go for a ride.’ The individual was cited for not wearing a helmet and has been referred to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office on suspicion of theft.
